For a drinking fountain, cover the down flow of water forcing the water through the upper hole.  Romans call this ” Big Nose.”  Would you expect less from the engineers of aquaducts?

Sitting on the roof top with the a gentle breeze. Listening to the chelloist in the piazza whose only competition is the basilica bells.

Lilliputian ~ September 14, 2015

  • September 14, 2015

As though a Lilliputian traveling in Gulliver’s world, I am dwarfed by the stupendous size of Basilica di San Giovanni.

Spinning Wheels ~ September 13, 2015

Spinning wheels gotta go round.

See the man pushing the peddle buggy while the women on the side is jogging.  As the buggy creasted the hill, both jumped aboard.  Always room.

The go-cart brought back fond childhood memories of riding and crashing Uncle Wade’s go-cart.

Roma Lego Land ~ September 13, 2015

  • September 13, 2015
  • Day 6
  • Rome

A fine example of the strong unity seen as families gathered to enjoy Legos.  Need not speak Italian to understand the play.  Lego is a universal language.
